Yu Heng World, Daqian Calendar 4871.
Xuandan Sect, Azure Dragon Peak, Azure Dragon Palace.
Han Yi and Yan Ru walked side by side.
At this moment, it had been twenty-two years since Han Yi had traveled through time. His appearance, compared to when he had just crossed over twenty-two years ago, had become more mature and steady, without any trace of vicissitudes.
Walking beside him, Yan Ru’s face didn’t show any heavy traces of time either.
However, over the years, the numerous actions of the Xuandan Sect had indeed affected all the disciples of the sect. Her cold expression was no longer present, replaced by an indifference that had been tempered by major events.
“Junior Brother Han, I didn’t expect your cultivation to progress so rapidly. In just a few years, you’ve already broken through to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. This is truly cause for celebration.”
Yan Ru’s graceful figure couldn’t be hidden by her cyan robe. Her gentle smile was full of admiration for Han Yi.
Although she also practiced diligently, and the difficulty of her training was several times greater than Han Yi’s, she gritted her teeth and persevered in secret. After all these years, she had only just broken through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation.
In contrast, Han Yi’s cultivation speed became faster as his realm improved, defying all common sense.
But everyone had their own secrets, so she only admired and was happy for Han Yi without any other thoughts.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Yan. But, Senior Sister Yan has also broken through to the eighth level of Qi Cultivation. In the future, reaching the ninth level will definitely not be a problem.”
Han Yi changed the subject to mutual compliments, then asked, “By the way, Senior Sister Yan, has Sister Chu returned?”
Yan Ru shook her head: “1 haven’t seen her.”
Over the years, Yan Ru hadn’t paid much attention to Chu Jinmo. But if something happened at White Tiger Palace, she would casually ask familiar disciples if Chu Jinmo had returned, but the answers were always negative.
“By the way, Junior Brother Han, since you’ve already reached the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, why not compete for the position of Outer Peak Master?”
After Han Yi emerged from his seclusion, he already knew about the three new sect policies, but he didn’t take them seriously.
Although being a peak master brought certain preferential treatment in cultivation resources, it also, to some extent, restricted him. For others, the pros and cons were hard to measure, but for him, the losses outweighed the gains.
“I am used to secluded cultivation, so the position of peak master doesn’t suit me.”
Yan Ru smiled. She almost forgot that ever since she met Han Yi at Small Guanhai Peak, he had always been in a state of dedicated cultivation, barely seen a few times throughout the year.
The two chatted about recent events, with Yan Ru doing most of the talking and Han Yi listening.
As for Han Yi, he didn’t have much to share in terms of recent events, except for his continuous cultivation.
Half an hour later, Yan Ru left. Today, Han Yi had emerged from seclusion and happened to bump into Yan Ru, so they chatted for a while without any plans to catch up on old times.
Han Yi descended from Azure Dragon Peak and turned towards Combat Peak. Combat Peak had already returned to the bustling state it was in two years ago.
With the implementation of the bodyguard project and the new peak master project, more peak Qi Cultivating Cultivators had emerged from the inner sect.
Previously, only the top thirty on the Earth Rankings were peak Qi Cultivators, but now, this range had expanded to the top fifty.
Han Yi had analyzed these three policies and had his own thoughts.
Breaking down the problem to its essence, the nature of these three policies was to create high-end combat power at the Foundation Establishment stage and above.
The first policy involved the sect granting a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills and even having the Supreme Elder protecting the law. This was to ensure the birth of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators every year, with the goal of a high number.
This policy facilitated internal catalysts.
The second policy, the Elder Consultant project, was for external reinforcement.
Of course, such a contract relationship for reinforcement was not reliable, but Han Yi didn’t know the details. If it were him, he would definitely add various binding conditions in the contract to ensure the smooth cooperation and avoid being stabbed in the back.
The third method, the new peak master project, was a policy that served the first one. By becoming a new outer peak master, one’s position in the Earth Rankings could also be improved, allowing them to receive Foundation Establishment Pills and protection from the Supreme Elder.
In short, these three policies were designed to achieve a significant increase in combat power at the high-end level in a short period of time, primarily focusing on the quantity.
“The sect’s policies are interconnected, and these three should be nearing their completion.”
Couldn’t help but sigh, Han Yi.
He had combed through every policy of the sect since the end of the battle between immortals and demons and found that all of them, whether it was the internal and external peak competitions, joint competitions with the Yuan Beast Sect, Evil Mountain hunting missions, Cave Heaven trials, Combat Peak, or the new policies, were designed to cultivate more powerful Qi Cultivating disciples.
With such a foundation of disciples and the new peak master project, the ultimate goal was to form the bodyguard plan, allowing the sect’s Foundation Establishment Stage combat power to have a significant increase in quantity.
Withdrawing his gaze from the Combat Platform, Han Yi retracted his thoughts, heading towards the Nine Dragons shop. The shopkeeper was still He Fangwei, but compared to a few years ago, He Fangwei seemed older, with only his pair of eyes still shining brightly.
“A rare visitor, please come in, Dao friend.”
Seeing Han Yi, He Fangwei’s smile widened as he hurriedly ushered him into the elegant room.
“I have some magical treasures that need to be dealt with.”
Han Yi took out the magical treasures that he didn’t need from his storage bag.
These magical treasures were obtained after breaking the restrictions on the six unopened storage bags when he had recently advanced to the ninth level. Some treasures were of no use to him, so it would be better to sell them directly.
“Broken Cloud Tower, Purple Light Box, Quicksand Bell…”
Most of what Han Yi took out were lower grade and mid-grade magical treasures, with only one high-grade Broken Cloud Tower, which had been obtained from the robbers outside Daofu City..
